Striker Rasmus Højlund and substitute Anders Dreyer both scored twice as Denmark beat Belarus 6-0 in their World Cup qualifying clash on Thursday that keeps them top of Group C on goal difference.

Victor Froholdt gave the Danes the lead in the 14th minute and then the 19-year-old turned provider five minutes later, steering the ball into the path of Højlund for a close-range finish to make it 2-0, with the goal allowed to stand after a lengthy VAR check for offside.
